Control unit for a machine tool or a coordinate measuring apparatus

摘要

A control unit for a machine tool or a coordinate measuring apparatus includes a control console having at least one operator-controlled element and a display screen. The operator-controlled element and the display screen are connected to a computer of the machine tool or the coordinate measuring apparatus. A converter expands or compresses a display screen signal outputted by the computer so that the entire content of the display screen on the control console is filled out with the display screen content of the computer independently of the image resolution of the display screen signal.
